z or vette

MJB · 09-26-2014, 10:04 AM

Asking opinions about another car on this forum is worthless. The OP could have said he was thinking about buying a freakin Bugatti Veyron and people would still come up with reasons why they think the Z is better.

Bang for your buck is this.... hfc's exhaust and tune will get you in the 12's quarter mile for about 1500-2000 range. Drop 10k to 15k for a SC or turbo set up will put you in the 11's easily. Vette killer you become with less than 50k invested worst case.
Most Vettes that I have seen at the strip run mid 12's and break a lot out there.

A little optimistic aren't we? And once again... not to be a GM fan boy, but there are several bolt on/tuned C7's that have hit high 10's already. Go check out there fast list on the Vette forum. A bolt on/cammed and tuned C6 Z06 makes over 500whp so saying a boosted Z is a "Vette killer".... hmm, I don't know about that... maybe a "stock Vette killer"...

If I were to ever get a Vette, It would have to be something a little rare... Z06, or even ZR1. The C7 Z06 is only supposed to be around 78K. Way out of my price range but maybe in a few years.

link to the C7 times?

and yes the Z06 starts at 76K but add in the Z07 package with a few much wanted/needed toys and you're looking around 85-95K range. i mean all that power and speed why not get the carbon ceramic brakes

jpkirk · 09-26-2014, 10:21 AM

It's slipping .... slipping ........ GOOOOONE off track!

Bangin' bucks are not for the uninitiated. You must have an si in your pocket.

And yes, it is Auto

There are a couple 9 sec passes from some other C7's but they were bolt on/ cammed and NOS. I'll go to the Vette forum and post their times.

For some reason, the vette forum doesn't have a sticky on their C7 fast list so I'm not going to scroll through 50 pages. However, the C6 Z06 (which has about 40 more bhp than a base C7) has gotten into the 10's bone stock with just DR's. A bolt on C7 is just as fast.

i wonder if someone would make a single huge exhaust outlet for the c7. that would be funny.

just one bigarse can in the back... dayam i can seez the cylinders from back here! kinda.

not gonna lie when the vette pics first came out my initial thought was "if i get one i will straight pipe it......and how sick would an exhaust outlet like the aventador look back there."

Tadpole · 09-26-2014, 10:26 AM

V6 compared to a V8. We are the underdogs here as it is and with a few mods it's competitive to the Vette is my point with a lot less money invested. Hell, Ford mustangs with 420 ponies under the hood still get beat by me at the drag strip. Priceless. I also murder any dodge charger out there stock for stock and for less money again. This is my point for bang for buck and we haven't even scratched the handling aspects yet
